Sometimes you may have an affiliate agreement with a particular company. But most of the time, it is good practice to sign up for a large affiliate site which already has contracts with hundreds of companies. And you can then choose which of those hundreds of companies products you want to resell. Some affiliate sites you can register with are cj.com amazon.com or many others. I personally like cj.com and recommend it. I am not paid to say that. I just prefer that site.

Be professional. When you submit a résumé, don’t type it in ALL CAPS and please don’t avoid the caps lock like the plague. Know how to use it without looking incompetent.

Thanks to the way the commission payments are structured, the more bookings that users make through your links, the higher the commission you'll receive. The rates start at 25 percent and go up to 40 percent once you've surpassed 501 bookings.
